Kim Kardashian Taps Into Nostalgic Hair Trend With Her Blunt, Flicked-Out Bob

Kim Kardashian is a world-renowned beauty mogul and more specifically, our go-to for all things hairspiration. With a team of experts at her every beck 'n' call (I mean, I would also have a live-in glam squad...), there's no style or cut that the reality star-turned-business head hasn't experimented with, today, resurrecting the 90s flicky bob from her arsenal.

Just short of 24 hours ago, Dimitris Giannetos, Kim's hairstylist for the occasion – whose clientele also includes the likes of Megan Fox, Camila Cabello and Amal Clooney, to name a few – shared a photo of her fresh new cut on Instagram. Describing the style in the caption of his three-part carousel post, Dimitris wrote: 'The 90’s bob.'

As shown, Kim has had her once-long raven locks chopped into a shoulder-length bob with the roots slicked down and ends flicking up. Minus the butterfly hairclips, this cut draws inspiration for the popular 90s look – not to mention the deep side parting. Think: Cameron Diaz as Kimberly Wallace in My Best Friend's Wedding.

Want to recreate a similar look at home? Well, look no further than to my go-to products for fixing up a tamed bob look.
